STANDSTILL

❝ Christmas miracles are hard to come by these days ❞

Ivy Hatoyama wasn't the biggest fan of the holidays. Sure, she understood why others were and she wasn't about to say anything against those who did, but, personally, she related much more to the Grinch than she would ever relate to Cindy Lou Who and that was just the way it was.

But when she found herself stranded at the airport on Christmas Eve, she quickly realized that the only thing worse than being with family for Christmas was being entirely alone for Christmas. Yet despite her sour holiday spirit, a miracle was still waiting for her in the form of a man who oozed Christmas from every fiber of his being, just as stranded as she was with nowhere to go and nothing to do but wait.

Thus the two decided to spend their holiday season together, making the most of what they had with whatever they could, and Ivy soon found that she could learn to like the holidays; so long as she shared it with the ones she loved.

AUTHOR'S NOTE

Merry Chris-mas ya'll! For those who don't know, luminite and I are doing this lil thing called 'Chris-Mas' where we write fics for two of the iconic Chrises (we were gonna do Pine as well, but who has that time.) I'm writing for Evans (I wish I really was) and she's writing for Hemsworth, so check out her fic because it's gonna be rad! But this story is going from December 1-December 25 with two parts, each with 12 chapters (12 Days of Christmas and all)

This is just gonna be a Hallmark movie in a Chris Evans fanfiction and I'm very excited for it, and I hope ya'll are as well, because this is what's getting me through December.
